A big headache after my daughter was born ,was about naming her, I had exactly 28 days for the same , and had to choose a good one. 

Its so difficult to choose names , from those given by other people , since , we have to make sure that , choosing a name do not lead to upsetting others. Everyone are fond of babies and all of them tend to suggest names ,for confused souls like me. Since I never had a prepared anything.

I sat and started to check for the best ones, many names were coming up in my mind but some or the other suggested the same to me.I didn’t want to name my kid , some name , but something special ,and I finalized on a few names. Then , my mom came up with some letters to start the name from an astrologer , and the funny thing was that , the names I selected matched none. 🙂

I was left with 5 more days now, time was running faster than I thought, And at-last , I found a name , which was indeed special , quite related to  Lord Krishna ,and meaningful. ‘Nandana’ which meant ‘Delighting’ , ‘pleasing’. 

Nowadays , as one of my friend said , choosing a name is not a big deal but  what it turns out to be later is something that has to be kept in mind. 🙂 

Everyone will have this question popping up in their mind once at least.

I do think of it most of the time and end up saying that if others can do it , may be I can too. I realized that once we decide that we are never going to fail and want to achieve it , no matter what happens , we can do it.

It simply requires strong will power. Nothing is a born talent in any person, if we decide to do it in our way, we can. Hard work can pay us. Any person , who knows the taste of hard work , will never stop doing it and of course they achieve it too.

The story in ‘Alchemist’ also conveys a simple truth that its all about will power and how strong we dream to achieve it , that leads us to success. And once we decide to do it , whatever comes in our path take it as a challenge and follow it until you succeed.

Its so common that , if one chose to do something new , we all receive only negative responses . But its best to follow what our heart says.If great people had listened to all the negative responses they got , we never would have such a wonderful world with highly developed technologies to live with.

Every path we choose has success and failure. But taking failure as a new positive sign continuing takes good courage.
